1️⃣ Select a **pair**. You can check out the Ranking page which lists the best **performing** settings according to our **simulator**. You can also head over to the [Whalinvest Discord](https://discord.com/invite/Exm77EV) to discuss with the community !

2️⃣ Select an **amount** you want to allocate to this robot. **Only the allocated amount will be invested**.

3️⃣ Select a **sampling interval**. This corresponds to the **regularity** at which your robot will **analyze the exchange price**. A shorter interval will make your robot more sensitive to market fluctuations and take more risks.

4️⃣ Select a **profit management method**. Ex : with a robot working on the **EGLD / USDT** pair: Accumulate **USDT** : Trade **profits are kept as USDT**. Some of it can be reinvested.\
Accumulate **EGLD** : Trade **profits are kept as EGLD**. None of which will be reinvested.

5️⃣ (Optionnal) Different stop loss options are available :\
**Standard** : This option is **risky** and intended **for people who are familiar with stop losses**. It is triggered when a specified loss percentage is reached.\
**Initial trade amount protection** : a *stop limit* order is placed to protect your initial investment when your position exceeds a specified profit percentage.<br>

6️⃣ Select a **Whalinvest trading strategy**. Click the button on the right to view the **estimated performance** of each strategy using your configuration.
